The defence of commerce is not a matter of cruisers only. It requires properly constituted feets-battleships, cruisers, and torpedo-craft distributed according to the political condi tions of the hour. We have foeta to-day with which the highest naval authorities are fairly wells bisfied. But foreign rivalry is keen. In the past throw years. Germany, has spent on new ships of war 294 millions sterling. We have spent in the same period only 34 millions.

The First Sea Lord has relieved the British quently, for the defenco of trade aad people of the dread of one peril-invasion the commercial community of the United King. further effort is necessary if one day enly to remind them of another, and one which dom is not to awoke to the fact that the Ad threatens the whole basis on which the Unitadmiralty can give no guarantes even of a limited Kingdom and the entire Empire rest.

There is no such thing as an all-embrac ing insurance policy against the losses dus to war. The Admiralty can give a guarantee to the nation that it will not be invaded so long as a sufficient amount of novel foros is provided, with provision for the traluinge of the fleets in their war duties. The Admir alty give that guarantee to-day. They reaffirm the formor certificate of econrity against invasion on a large scale, but with an important rider. They add that they are able to go u step further to-day, and declare that not even such a relatively small force as 70,000 foreign soldiers could be landed on our shores.

Its marvellous and tested qualities its power, and. its utility as either a short or long arm wespon of defence and offenos--are not yet fully rralised. The submarine has dispelled all the old fears of invasion. It is a type of ship against which transports crowded with Boldiers would have absolutely no defence, and it is a type of man-of-war which no rust could antice away from the normal cruising ground: Right down the coast, from Dundee to Dover. and round to Portsmonth and Devonport, these vessels are on duty, and always ou duty. | SHOTS."

on a mere whisper of a foe--it may $7.50 per 100, SPORTING REQUISITES be a wireless whisper-they may sink out of sight, and in so doing become more terrifying and AIR GUNS in Variety. and more dangerous. It is indeed, only when they are proceeding submerged that they are falfiling their mission. In daytime they are as invisible when oruising as a torpedo boat at night in a dense fog; they give off no smoke they make no noise; they move in the ses as microbes move in the human body; and they are cheap cheap to build and cheap to use, because they require relatively small crews. The essence of success in war is to have an adequate force of the right kind in the right place at the right moment. The submarines faifit all these conditions.

. There can be no surprise attack on our coasts with descent of transports, because the des troyers and submarines are a permanent antidoto, and there can be no deliberate invasion of these

islands se an insident of war antil, by defeating the main British Fleet, an enemy has obtained command of the sea.

̈GROWTH OF SHIPPING.

To paraphrase the First Sea Lord, the Admiralty hold that if the greater peril is pro vided against-namely, the defence of our tende and shipping-the lesser peril-invasionis eliminated.

The problem is the defence of trede. How vast it is and how impossible it is for the Admiralty to give the business community an absolute guarantee of safety is apparent on a little con- sideration. We own half the shipping of the whole world. Wherever there is water to flos aship there a British ship loaded with valu- able property. Travers all the Seven Seal and everywhere there is this predominance of British shipping. It is widely spread over thousands-ons of thousands of miles, of sea, and its only protection is the British Fleet.

Possibly some conception of the extent of the merchant shippin of the British people to-day may be obtained from the statistics showing the not tooncge of British vessels entered and. cleared, with cargoes and in ballast, at ports in. the United Kingdom, from and to the Imperial Dominious and foreign countries, in the past seventy years, in millions of tons
